Reminder: Premium Season Ticket Holders Facebook Group

Submitted by NeilGoBlue on

Hello,

If you are a premium season football ticket holder, please send me an email if you would like to join our closed facebbok group.

I know there is some frustration out there among the premium seat holders, becuase we can't buy or sell on stub hub etc.  

For example, I fly in for every game and I always have friends and family coming in, and sometimes I need extra tickets, sometimes I have extras.

Example 2, I know of someone who needs two Notre Dame club seats and is willing to trade 2 Ohio suite tickets, etc

Hopefully we can have a little group to deal with our ticket needs with each other.

This is just a community based place for Michigan fans to buy, sell, or trade your premium tickets with other premium seat holders.

Send me an email if you are interested.

To the AD's credit, there is a site, where premium ticket holders can buy and sell tickets, but it's only at face value.  (maybe this year it will be tiered with the new dynamic pricing). 

So, my experience was that I could easily get bottom tier games, but anything middle tier and above, was not available. Which makes perfect sense, who is going to give up a Ohio, Notre Dame, MSU ticket for face value?  In the club?

...per se.  They "relinquish" their tickets to the "Premium Seat Exchange" where they recieve a tax exemption for the donation based on the face value of the ticket.  That ticket can then be purchased by another Premium seat holder that would like to buy extras.  The seller receives no money in the exchange.

I would have kept my mouth shut (or fingers still), but since you tried to correct someone on the topic, I'll correct you: there are plenty of champagne vintages that age very well and are intended for keeping.  And virtually all champagnes that list a vintage (which would be applicable to the original comment) are suitable for storing.

i'd rather save the cash and go w/ a younger champagne.  most of the older champagnes that i've had have lost their carbonation and were pretty dark in color (very caramel-like). 

maybe it's just my experience, but i'm not a fan of old champagnes.

I owned a bottle of champagne that had aged around 10 years.  When I opened it I thought it had gone bad.  Fortunately our dinner guests knew more about champagne than I did and informed me that's the nature of aged champagne.  Now I just buy the one year old stuff!

champagne ages terrifically, as well or better than any other white still wine and in many cases, better than reds.  It has a better track record for aging, for example, then modern-styled Cab from the Napa Valley.  There's a reason folks pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars for 20+ year old bottles of Krug, Salon, etc.

yea lol... you won't get much support from the mgoblog masses.

anyway, since i'm generally curious about anything related to tickets, can you describe with more details the particular restriction on selling tickets.

is it simply the fact that you can't use a secondary market like stubhub? 

why can't you just sell them on mgoblog to an "average joe"?  why do you need to sell it to a premium seat season ticket holder (does it have to do w/ the ease of transferring via bar code)? 

I can't imagine that it's that hard to physically mail the tickets to someone and have that person cut you a check or pay via paypal... or is there something that i'm missing?

We aren't allowed to sell them on Stub Hub.. Even if you wanted to, you can't put the 'section' number in.

The MGOboard might work, I never really used it.. Just wanted a place to intereact with other premium ticket holders to so that if I needed an additional ticket on the fly.. I had access to people who had them. 

My experience is also that none of the other sites are good for selling or buying club tickets.

When did you last try? I did it last season.

 

I just went on and saw that there are listings and some sold for this upcoming season. It allowed me to go all the way through with posting a listing except I did not hit submit as I prefer to allow electronic delivery and to do so you need the tickets themselves to get the codes off them. The tickets have not yet arrived.

 

[Edit: I should have realized this earlier but I guess my seats in section 3 are not "premium" which explains why I can sell them on Stub Hub.]
